Default Overall Reliability of the F?

I know there are a few threads on this but wanted another angle on it.

I just have passed 100,000kms (60,0000 miles) with the F and factory warrantee will be up at 110,000kms for power train. I am debating if I want to try to take the F to 200,000kms - 250,000kms or replace the F with a new CT200h.

My car feels like new still, engine is super smooth and transmission is perfect. I am a bit skeptical of the life-time fluid in the transmission. My main concern is the potential for power train failure after warrantee is over since it is $20k for a new engine and $10k for a new transmission.

Should I have anything to be concerned about?

BTW: my car is meticulously cared for by the dealer.

So you've trusted the car this long while the car has been incredibly reliable... and now all of the sudden you feel that the car might break down in the next 60k miles?

Some logic..

Thanks for the links, case closed, essentially the F is bulletproof.

lol, that is the craziest thing i've read all day.

and to answer your question, no you shouldn't have anything to be concerned about, especially if you maintained your F properly. at 60k miles it's just broken in.

enjoy it for years to come, these things are as bulletproof as performance cars get.
